SASH-STOP OR PARTING-BEAD.

Application led March 12, 1913.

T 0 all y1li/10m t may Concern lie it known that I, HARRY H. SCHROYER, acitizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of'4 Chicago,in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Sashotops or Parting-Beads; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to thenumbers of reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecification.

Heretofore in car window construction, the attachment of curtains forthe window, has necessitated the addition of a number of small parts,which is undesirable in some respects and tends to increase thecomplication of the construction.

It is an object' of this invention to provide a device affording acurtain guide which is an integral part of the window' construction.

It is also an object of this invention to provide a device in which thecurtain guide or stop is readily removable from the window.

It is also an object of this invention to provide a. device which isresiliently and removably engaged to the window post and serves notonly7 as a curtain guide, but also as a stop for the inner sash of thewindow.

" It is furthern'iore an object of this invention to provide an integralwindow stop and curtain guide, which is detachably connected to thewindow post of the car.

It is finallb7 an object of this invention to provide a cheap, simpleand durable device of such simplicity as to enable one, not previouslyskilled in the art,7 to readily attach or detach the same.

The invention (in a preferred form) consists in the matters hereinaftermore fully described and defined.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a fragmentary interior view, of a car thewindows of which are equipped with a device embodym ing the principlesof my invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse horizontal section taken on line2-2 of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is an enlarged end elevation showing in detail theresiliently removable member affording the sash stop and curtain guide.

As shown in the drawings: The window post of the car for conventionalillustration is shown as constructed of a T bar l, having Specificationof Letters Patent.

Serial No. 753,765.

secured to the leg thereof' outwardly extend.- ing Z bars 2, and securedon the fianges of said T bar, are inner and outer channels 3 and Llf,respectively, of unequal width, adapted to receive therebetween 'theextremities of the jamb and cheek plate 5. As shown, said cheek plate 5,is extended around to afford the end and side walls of the window post,and said side walls are recessed on each side thereof as designated bythe reference numerals 6 and 7, to receive therein inner and outerwindow stops 8 and 9, respectively.

As shown in Fig. 2, said Z bars 2, are fixed by spot welding or anyother suitable means, to the inner walls of said recesses 6, asreinforcement for the window post. An outer channel or face plate 4, isprovided with laterally extending flanges 10, adapted to afford an outerWeather stop for outer sliding sash ll. For this purpose, the Stiles ofsaid sash 1l, are suitably recessed, and engaged therein is a. small Tbar strip of metal 12, one flange thereof projecting over a portion ofthe recess for the reception of said flange 10.

The inner sash is designated by the reference numeral 13, and isslidable between the stops 8 and 9. As shown in Fig. 3, said inner stcpis provided with resilient angled webs 14.-, shaped to conform to theconvergence of the side wall of the recesses 6. The outer face of saidstop 8, is suitably stamped or formed near one edge thereof to affordthe groove A, adapted to receive the curtain stop 15, of the curtain 16,therein.

The operation is as follows: The stop 8, is shown as constructed from asingle strip of' sheet metal, and formed to afford the groove A, and theresilient .engaging webs 14. The stop and curtain guide 8, due to itsreadily detachable nature, may be either placed in position in thewindow frame either before or after the curtain is hung, depending onwhich is the more convenient.

I am aware that details of the construction are open to Wide variation.I therefore do not purpose limiting the patent granted otherwise thannecessitated by the prior art.

I do not claim'herein broadly the general construction of the windowpost, as shown, as the same forms the subject-matter of' Letters PatentNo. 1,097,677, granted to me May 26,1914, on an application filed ofPatented Feb. 2, 1915. n

even date with this application. Nor clo I claim herein broadly theconstruction of the removable sash stops, as shown, as the same formsthe subject-matter of a separate application, No. 753,763, filed of evendate with this application.

I claim as my invention: ,A channel-shaped metallic sash stop forwindows, formed with resilient angled Webs adapted to engage acorresponding recess in the Window janib, the outer face of said stopbeing grooved longitudinally thereof to serve as a curtain guide.

In testimony whereof l have hereunto subscribed my naine in the presenceof two 15 subscribing Witnesses.
